In Year 1 we love to have fun whilst we are learning. We have a big focus on developing our children as readers, writers and curious learners – we love to find things out! Our curriculum is designed to engage children and let them explore and learn new things. Our topics are:
Autumn 1 – Wonderful Us
Autumn 2 – The Box of Forgotten Toys
Spring 1 – Paws, Claws and Whiskers
Spring 2 – Under the Sea
Summer 1 – The Scented Garden
Summer 2 – The Enchanted Woodlands
We work very hard to inspire children to love books and quality texts are threaded through our whole curriculum (our children quickly become bookworms if they aren’t already!) In our whole class reading sessions we explore a range of fiction, non-fiction and poetry. We want our children to become familiar with a wide range of authors and texts.
Phonics is an important part of Year 1 so our children are enabled to continue on their journey of being readers and writers. Dough Disco and other fine motor skills activities are done daily to encourage strong fingers! Our maths is very practical – we do lots of counting, sorting, problem solving and work within numbers to 100.
In the afternoons our learning is focused on curriculum areas such as science, PSHE, history, art, geography and music to name a few. Afternoons are also a time to explore and learn through varied and creative tasks.
